What are the consequences of being cut by metal and not having tetanus?

If you don't get tetanus if you are cut with a knife, you can get tetanus, which can lead to serious illness. Because being punctured or scratched by rust or soil contaminated metal products** will cause tetanus bacilli to invade the body, resulting in tetanus, so it is necessary to inject tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immune globulin in time to prevent it. If tetanus occurs, it is more likely to die because of its rapid development and lack of specific drugs.

Typical symptoms are generalized convulsions, angular arch albeliage, and a wry smile, often due to asphyxia and dyspnea, resulting in death. Therefore, tetanus injections should be given within 24 hours of trauma in cases where tetanus infection is likely.

It will be easy to get infected, the symptoms of ulcers will occur, and the wound will heal very slowly. It is advisable to go to the hospital for tetanus in time after being cut by metal, and then treat the disinfection and wound to avoid infection.

Metal cuts, especially rusty metal, can easily cause tetanus, and if you don't have a tetanus needle, then the cut will rot, and in severe cases, it will even be amputated and removed.

If you don't have tetanus from a metal cut, it can lead to more serious illness because a metal cut** can cause tetanus bacilli to invade the body, and if tetanus occurs, it can lead to immediate death.

If you don't have tetanus, it is likely to cause inflammation and inflammation, and even discomfort in other parts of the body, so after being cut by metal, you must get tetanus in time.

The consequences are still more serious, for example, the body is easily affected by rust, and it may also be polluted by the soil, and after entering the body, bacterial infection will occur, and the recovery speed will be relatively slow, and in severe cases, it will be life-threatening.

It may soon cause the wound to become inflamed and infected, and finally lead to all the ulcers around **, which is very serious, so be sure to get a tetanus shot in time.

There are still a lot of bacteria in the metal, and if you don't have tetanus at this time, the bacteria will enter the body, and the wound will heal very slowly.

This is because being cut by a metal object is likely to lead to infection, so it is important to get a tetanus in time, otherwise it is likely to cause a serious infection or even death.

This is because the metal substance has been exposed to the sun for a long time to produce bacteria and viruses, and if there is a wound scratch, it will go directly to the inside of the ** infection, and a very serious infection will occur, causing physical effects.

Because this can avoid infection, and it can also have certain benefits for the body, and can also avoid problems and injuries to the body.

Don't worry, pay more attention to rest, don't be afraid, tetanus is caused by the symptoms of ordinary wounds that are infected by bacteria. It usually occurs 6 to 10 days after the injury, but it also occurs 24 hours or weeks after the injury. Under normal circumstances, tetanus does not occur, so be careful not to let the wound become infected.

If the following symptoms occur, it is time to be.

The symptoms of tetanus are convulsions all over the body, trismus, fear of wind, fear of noise, and hard muscles all over the body.

1.Incubation period: The length varies and is often related to factors such as whether the injection has been received, the nature and location of the wound, and the treatment of the wound. Usually 7-8 days, but there are as short as only 24 hours or as long as months or years.

2.Prodromal phase: fatigue, dizziness, headache, weakness in chewing, hyperreflexia, irritability, local pain, muscle stretching, convulsions and rigidity, jaw tension, difficulty opening the mouth.

3.Episodic phase: Persistent muscle contraction. At first, it is the masticatory muscles, and then the face, neck, back, abdomen, limbs, and finally the diaphragm and intercostal muscles.

4.Vibration of sound, light, drinking water, and injection can induce paroxysmal spasms. The patient is conscious at all times and does not feel abnormal. There is usually no high fever.

As long as there are no of these symptoms, it is

Generally, rusty things will be cut with a higher probability of infection, but dirtier things also have viruses, and not necessarily tetanus bacteria, and the deeper the wound, the greater the probability of infection, if the wound is deep, the landlord is better to go to the hospital to see.

If you don't even handle and keep it clean, you won't get it. If the wound is very deep, it is easy to get tetanus bacilli if you are infected with it, because tetanus bacilli are strictly anaerobic bacteria, and necrotic tissue deep in the wound is easy to grow and produce toxins, leading to the occurrence of tetanus. Post-cut tetanus antitoxin prophylaxis is recommended.

It is best to go for the fight, because accidentally being scratched by the iron sheet has the possibility of causing infection with tetanus bacilli, so specialize.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital to give intramuscular tetanus antitoxin for prophylaxis** to prevent accidents.

Added: Tetanus:

Tetanus is a toxic disease of the nervous system caused by tetanus bacillus exotoxin, which is characterized by progressive development of muscle rigidity, accompanied by episodic exacerbations, and if not timely**, the mortality rate is about 10 to 40%.

Pathogenesis. Tetanus is caused by infection with the tetanus bacillus. Tetanus bacilli is a gram-positive sporogenic anaerobic bacterium that is widely dispersed in soil and is also found in faeces. Tetanus spores alone are not enough to cause the disease, and the presence of other bacteria or fragments of foreign objects such as wood or glass must be present at the same time.

Tetanus bacilli only breed in anaerobic wounds and do not spread elsewhere, but the bacteria produce exotoxins that can cause neurotoxicity. When the toxin acts on the brainstem and spinal cord, specific muscle spasms occur due to contraction of both agonist and antagonist muscles.

Analysis:

The need for tetanus shots in the event of an injury depends on the specific situation. If the wound is relatively small and superficial, it is not necessary.

Guidance: If it is a deep wound, a vaccination is required. to prevent tetanus infection. Wounds in general anaerobic environments are susceptible to infection.

Tetanus bacillus is an anaerobic bacterium, which is a conditional pathogenic bacterium that is easy to grow and multiply only under oxygen-free conditions or when the wound is deep and accompanied by aerobic bacterial infection.

Tetanus bacilli mostly grow in soil and rust, so tetanus antitoxin should be injected when the wound is deeply contaminated with soil or punctured by rust-like iron objects.

You don't describe the extent and depth of the scratches. If you have only been scratched by non-rusty metal and the wound is not deep, you can avoid tetanus antitoxin injections as long as proper debridement is done. If you are really not sure, you can also go to the hospital to get an injection of tetanus antitoxin.

This kind of needle is not expensive, it should not exceed ten oceans.

Because tetanus antitoxin is an immune horse serum, which is a heterosexual protein to the human body, and has antigenicity (allergic reaction), an allergy test should be done before taking the drug. If the test result is negative, you can directly inject the tetanus antitoxin, and if the test result is positive, you should be desensitized injection, that is, the tetanus antitoxin can be injected in 4---5 times in small doses. If you have used tetanus antitoxin for more than a week, if you use it again, you must also redo the **test.
